The lady is very bubbly....she seems like she's loving life which is the most important thing.

I love the fact that this isn't a professional interior designer-made renovation which looks very unpretentious. You can really tell that she worked within a certain budget & the space is a labor of love done by herself, her father & her boyfriend which makes it look so homey. She made wise choices on how to make use of each space coupled with her ingenuity. Most of the time, modern renovations feel cold & what makes a home/space cozy is by bringing in pieces that you actually collected..

Lovely studio apartment. Great use of space. The large windows and interior patio make it light and airy. Charming couple.

This is honestly one of my favourite House tours! I love that it is in Paris and I LOVE that it is a small, real home. That it is not someone who spent a lot of money to have a designer make all sorts of special furniture. Don't get me wrong, I think those are wonderful as well! But I think this one seems more accessible to me. It's one I come back to from time to time just to dream 💗

Everything is simplified and easy. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

A few years ago I rented an apartment in Paris with an interior courtyard like that on a busy street and it was amazingly quiet.

What a lovely sweet home, for a lovely sweet couple. My home, a studio apartment in NYC has quite a similar down to earth approach. I found this very affirming. I have all that I want, more than I need. I totally love Paris as I love NYC. Any "scarifices" I make are minimal to the riches I have living in a city that inspires me, that thrills me, EVERY day. I'm so grateful for them being so open and sharing. (She STILL has space in her storage!!! Most of mine is over stuffed, I need to purge!) All the best to them, and to Kristen for showing us such AMAZING homes and spaces, all over the world! Thanks
